Fall Rules

Fall Rules

Lips: Maybelline Plum Shine, Covergirl + Olay Tone Rehab Foundation

Fall Rules, yes it does. And by following the below rules, you can master the perfect fall look. Each is simple and easy to do. For each rule when applicable and when I can, I will list both high-end recommendations and drugstore recommendations since you can make this look work at every price range.

1. Moisturize
With the colder weather, added moisture to your skin is key and is going to create a great canvas for your makeup to go over.

4. Brown & Gold Eyeliners
A simple way to wear these for fall is to just line the outer upper and lower lash line. So basically the outer V area. This will really make your eyes pop and add some added definition without being overwhelming.

5. Ballerina Buns
One of the easiest ways to wear this fall look is to create a ballerina bun. This is a simple and easy way to create a very classic look. You can use a sock to do this or various other products out there to help create a ballerina bun. I simply just create a messy bun higher up, which works well for curly hair. If you don't like the look of ballerina buns, try a side bun or a bun at the nape of your neck.

6. Wear your glasses if you have them

This is a great way to mix up your outfit. i have three pairs of glasses that I alternate based on my mood, outfit, and the time of year. This pairs really well with the colors in this fall look and the simplicity of the bun. Try thicker framed glasses as well as we've seen on Demi Moore and Brittany Spears on the X factor.

7. Reds, oranges, and deep purples
An easy way to do is by pairing a neutral simple look with a fun scarf as you can see in my picture. Another way to do this is just to add a bracelet or earrings with these colors in it if you don't feel these are really "your" color. I love mixing deeper reds and deeper purples together at this time of year.

8. Skinny jeans, solid tops, and a colored flat

Simple & easy does it. Everyone can wear skinny jeans no matter what your size. If you want to hide a belly, just pair it with a longer shirt and add a cardigan with it. I've been pairing nearly ever single outfit with a Shoedazzle "bettina" flat I have in a deep magenta. If you follow the above rules you can rock a colored flat.
